Happy Birthday To Us!!
I can hardly believe that this challenge blog is 2 years old!
Thank you to each and every one of the amazing Challengers, generous Sponsors, talented Design Team (past & present) as well as our fabulous Guest Designers for making this blog as popular as it is today :)

By way of a personal thank you, Sketch Saturday challengers are invited to enter in our personal blog candies! (our Party Bag Candy) this was so much fun to do last year!
Some of the design team have put together a small package to say thank you to one challenger, please go to each blog and put your name down on the relevant post,
PLEASE NOTE: you are only eligible to enter each DT members party bag candy once, and ONLY if you've already taken part in this weeks challenge too (please provide a link to your work in your comment on each DT members blog that you visit)
We want to thank sketch saturday challengers so this is why it's only open to SS entrants!
(we will be checking!)
Each Party Bag Candy will close on the DT members blogs at 8:00 AM (UK time) on Friday 4th June, please note: FRIDAY MORNING. No entries will be accepted after this time, sorry.
This is so that the DT members can let me know their winner's name so that I can get the post ready for the following morning to announce the winners :)

However, the normal SS challenge (open to all who leave a link on this blog) will run until 11:59PM on the Friday evening as normal

The sketch is the same for both obviously, so make your card/project & leave a link here so you are eligible to win this weeks prize kindly donated by The Craft Barn, then, if you want to be entered into the party bag candy too with the chance to win an extra prize, leave the same link on the blog of the DT member too... Simples!

What is the prize by The Craft Barn you may ask?
Well Sandy is spoiling us for our birthday and is offering the challenge winner a WHOPPING £30.00 to spend in store!!!

Sandy, You are so generous, thank you so much! xx

To find out first hand what this fab store has to offer why not visit them for their Summer Craft Extravaganza?Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th June
